I’m putting together a light-hearted 2D cartoon short purely for entertainment and I’m looking for an animator who can handle the complete process—from rough storyboards all the way through to final render—while also arranging a professional voiceover that matches the characters’ personalities. You’ll have creative freedom on character design and scene composition so long as the look stays colorful, fluid, and unmistakably cartoony. I’ll supply the core concept and any reference material you need; you transform it into an engaging, polished piece that can hold an audience’s attention without relying on corporate or educational tropes. Please factor the following into your proposal: • Running time: approximately 60–90 seconds • Full-HD (1920×1080) delivery in MP4 + source project files (Animate/After Effects/Toon Boom, whichever you prefer) • Voiceover: casting, recording, basic cleanup, and sync to picture • Original music and sound FX are a bonus, but not mandatory I’ll review rough animatics first, offer feedback, and then sign off on in-betweening, coloring, and final compositing. Let me know your estimated turnaround time and any portfolio samples that showcase similar entertainment-focused cartoon work with voice acting.

A short cartoon only works if the timing, voice, and character expressions all land together. If any of those feel off, the piece loses its energy fast. I’ll build it so the motion feels lively, the personalities read instantly, and the final cut still feels polished at Full-HD. I’ll start with rough storyboards and an animatic, then shape the final character poses, in-betweening, coloring, and compositing around your feedback. I can also handle voiceover casting, recording, basic cleanup, and sync so the performance fits the animation instead of sitting on top of it. I’ll keep the look colorful and unmistakably cartoony, with expressive mouths, clean silhouettes, and motion that feels bouncy rather than stiff. - You’ll get rough animatics first for review. - You’ll receive MP4 delivery plus source project files. - I can include https://www.freelancer.com/u/mqazi1000 samples that match this style. You can review my previous work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/mqazi1000 Would you like the voice to feel more playful, deadpan, or character-driven?

Hello, I reviewed the requirements, and the core challenge is creating expressive, highly detailed human characters that retain convincing anatomy while being cleanly separated and reliable for 3D printing. I would sculpt the characters in a suitable 3D workflow, refining anatomical details and surface quality, then prepare separate body, arm, and head components as clean, watertight STL files optimised for printing. I have worked on similar human character modelling, digital sculpting, anatomical assets, STL preparation, and 3D-printing projects and can share relevant samples once we connect in chat.

Most animators build the character, then go find a voice. I do it backwards. The voice finds the character. Here is why that matters for a 60 second short. Comedy lives on timing, and timing lives on the read. The pause before a punchline, the half second a character holds a look, the breath between two lines. None of that exists until you hear the voice. So I cast first. I run auditions, find the read that makes you grin without any picture, then animate to it. Mouth shapes, beats, the whole rhythm built on a real performance instead of patched in at the end. Then the pipeline you described. Rough animatic for your notes, you sign off, I move to in betweening, color, compositing. Colorful, fluid, cartoony. No explainer energy, no corporate voice. Music and sound FX where it earns its place. MP4 plus source files, Animate, After Effects or Toon Boom, whichever fits the piece. 60 to 90 seconds usually takes two to three weeks from locked script to final render. One question. Is there a moment in your concept where a character says nothing and just reacts? That beat is where a cartoon becomes funny instead of just animated, and it changes how I cast.
